"THE LASIK EXPERIENCE!"
Betty Wong
Occupation: Attorney, Mother, and Wife of Shannon Wong, MD who performed
her LASIK surgery

"I've worn glasses for 11 years and had no luck with contacts. After I had a baby, I noticed my son would pull off my glasses whenever I held him. I hoped that I would no longer need to wear glasses or could be less reliant on them. I felt no discomfort during the LASIK procedure, which lasted approximately 30 minutes. The doctor and assistants all made sure I was comfortable. The day after surgery I was 20/20 and have remained 20/20 since. My results surpassed my expectations of LASIK. It was such a miracle that I could see 20/20 without any corrective lenses!" |

Peter: I was tired of dried out contacts,
dealing with glasses and buying cleaning solutions. I hoped to achieve
20/20 vision after having LASIK. The results of surgery exceeded
all expectations. I couldn't be more satisfied. Dr. Shannon Wong
is very professional, knowledgeable, takes pride in his work and truly
cares. Jennifer: The excitement my husband experienced after he had the surgery and the quickness of his vision becoming 20/20 motivated me to pursue LASIK. The whole experience was positive for me….I could see 20/40 within the first 24 hours, and then 20/20 within two weeks. I am so happy with the results…I couldn't be happier. |

"I chose LASIK because I was tired of 'dealing' with contacts which weren't comfortable. I wanted to see well all the time. I have a very demanding job and am a mother of two.... I saw LASIK as an investment in myself. A coworker of mine who had LASIK by Dr. Shannon Wong referred me to the Austin Eye Clinic. The LASIK procedure was quick and painless. I was making dinner 5 hours after surgery and seeing fine. Driving into work the next morning, things were now 'sharp and clean.' The LASIK procedure exceeded my expectations in that I can see 20/15. Most importantly, I only missed 1/2 day of work to have the procedure done and was back the next morning perfectly fine." |

"I wanted to free myself from contacts…I travel extensively and in some of the places, contacts would be impossible. Also, in my line of work, your life can depend on timing, and being exposed to dust, winds, fire, and water can easily distort your vision with contact lenses. The physicians at the Austin Eye Clinic came highly recommended. I hoped to achieve perfect vision without contacts or glasses. LASIK was such a quick procedure. I couldn’t believe I waited so long to do it! The doctors and nurses were very pleasant throughout the process. Within one hour after surgery, my vision was fantastic. I couldn’t believe I was seeing this good without contacts. The LASIK procedure met my expectations, and I had high expectations." |

"I was tired of wearing glasses. Then I met Dr. Mitchel Wong on the golf course at Onion Creek and asked him about it. Before when I wore glasses, it was very irritating to have to fool with glasses on the golf course. Sometimes when it rained, my lenses would get spotted with rain and I was having to wipe them off. Or if it was hot, they would slip a little on my nose. Now after surgery, I have a whole new golf game. While putting, I do not have to look around my frames. I just feel my game is better because my depth perception is much better. I can tell where the flagstick is located on the green. I can read putts much better as well. I would recommend it to anyone tired of the hassle of glasses and/or contacts. It is a whole new wonderful clear world!" |
